Chapter 324 Drinking and talking about business

Wang Fulin was puzzled, but he was glad that such a thing was interrupted, and he dealt with the two sisters. Besides, he also wanted to see what the hell was selling in Zhang Taizheng's gourd.↗,

It was already April, and Putuo Mountain was on the sea again, so it was naturally a little cool at night. Therefore, he specially took a blue cocoon silk face and a blue-gray cloak in the silk cloak to avoid the cold drink that night. As for the sword wearing it, he never left his body every moment. Although scholars' swords are rare, they can also be easily covered with the four words "maverickness". When he came to a grape trellis in the backyard of the inn, he saw Zhang Taizheng sitting there alone, and he smiled and called Brother Zhang.

"Brother Wang, it's really abrupt when I came to invite you on a whim, but it's really unpleasant to drink alone at night, so I invited you." Zhang Taizheng smiled and bowed. After asking Wang Fulin to sit down, he held a pot and filled a glass of Wang Fulin, and smiled diligently, "Take it, this is the most famous Dongyang wine in Jiangnan."

Although this inn is not his own territory, his family has a large population and there are still people guarding it outside. Of course, Wang Fulin will no longer worry about Zhang Taizheng making trouble in the wine. He raised his glass and drank it all, and then savored the fragrance in his mouth. He nodded with a smile and said, "Although I don't know anything about tasting wine, the mouth is soft and soft, and there is a bit of the sour taste of green plums, and a good wine."

"Dongyang wine is Jinhua wine. The famous Lanling Mansion has been located in ancient times. It is said that it is Lanling wine tulips, which is called Jinhua wine. I specially added green plums to remind me not to drink too much. Once I was flooded a lot and almost died of drunkenness. This wine has the strongest potential!"

When Wang Fulin heard Zhang Taizheng explain the characteristics of Dongyang wine in detail, he had to admit that aside the grudges between Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants, and the possible political and stance differences between Zhang Siwei and Wang Daokun, just talking about Zhang Taizheng alone is undoubtedly easy to make people like him, provided that if he is really a fifteen-year-old scholar, he smiled and discussed the difference between Shaoxing wine and Jinhua wine with the other party, just keep silent about anything else. Sure enough, in the end, Zhang Taizheng turned to the point.

"I heard that Brother Wang met two Folang Jimen near Chaoyin Cave today?"

Here comes! Wang Fulin suddenly woke up in his heart, but without hesitation, he nodded directly and said, "Yes, these two Folang Ji people really don't understand what abruptness is. They actually asked the materials for other people's clothes. Later, after apologizing, I casually asked some gossip about where they came from and where they live now. This is the first time I knew that Guangdong had long rented Macau from Xiangshan County to them."

Wang Fulin's words were half true and half false. But Zhang Taizheng didn't dare to underestimate them at all. After all, he had suffered losses before, and there were people like Mr. Chen who had suffered greater losses than himself.

In an instant, he made a decision and immediately said embarrassedly: "Brother Wang, let me tell you that these two Folang Ji people came to Putuo Mountain on my boat. We not only took shelter from Longshan, but also stayed on Shuangyu for a little while. After picking up these two people on board the boat, they arrived at Putuo Mountain. You don't know that Folang Ji people believed in God, but because the original residents in Macau believed in Buddhism, they planned to find a monk and go to Macau to appease the people of my Ming Dynasty. It is said that this is also recognized by Xiangshan County."

If Wang Fulin had not come from later generations and knew how exclusive the religion was, then he would not have doubted Zhang Taizheng's words. But since he knew that the Portuguese were busy developing Catholic believers among the locals, how could he believe that these two Portuguese would be so kind and get a monk from Putuo Mountain back from Putuo Mountain? Taking a step back, there are not many famous mountains and temples in Guangdong, so is it necessary to seek far away?

Zhang Taizheng said oh when he saw Wang Fulin, as if he was not interested. Instead, he felt even more uneasy. He immediately explained patiently: "Although Shuangyu was once blocked, the tides were washed over the years and could barely stop the ship. Among all my relatives who were traveling with me, one of them was from Guangdong and had dealt with these Folang Ji people in Macau. According to him, these people's skills in using swords are far inferior to those of me, but muskets and cannons are even better than those of them. After the Wang Academy defeated these Folang Ji people, he wrote a letter to imitate them, so I want to find out more about their reality and reality, which is still useful in the end."

"After all, Brother Zhang's family is from the origin of his family. If it were someone else, he would only regard himself as a country in the Celestial Kingdom, how could he have thought of this?" Of course, Wang Fulin didn't mind praising Zhang Taizheng, which showed that the other party's smile was a little stiff. He suddenly felt puzzled. Why can't he praise others now?

"It's just a little knowledge, not worth mentioning." Zhang Taizheng smiled unnaturally, but he felt that Wang Fulin knew that if he couldn't block his mouth, what if he went out and shouted, let alone his reputation as other scholars on the same boat, even his father Zhang Siwei might have been swept in. It was all the fault of the two ignorant Folang Ji people who had no idea about the great things that they had told them that they would do the job of finding a monk, but they had to sway around the island in broad daylight. If it weren't for the introduction of a Shanxi merchant's family, how could he take on such a fatal thing?

So, Zhang Taizheng tried every means to persuade him to drink, and tried to beat around the bush. It was not until the end that he expressed his real purpose, that is, to help keep it confidential. Wang Fulin was not too surprised at this request, but he knew that if he only gave a light promise, he would not only not let it go, but would be suspicious. So, his eyes turned and finally said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I am indeed very interested in these two Folang Ji people. I don't know where we are from where to deal with these Folang Ji people in business, and the government is strictly prohibited?"

"Of course there is no ban, but most of the people in Folang Ji don't speak local language. This time the two are rare anomalies."

Wang Fulin didn't expect to hear this important news and couldn't help but feel happy: "That's the best. Before, they seemed to be very interested in new silk. I'd both of them asked Brother Zhang to ask them, if you want, stay in Shuangyu for two more days, and I can sell them hundreds of pieces."

Anyway, Xiaobei's men's outfit was the material he bought during his stay in Ningbo Mansion. The tailor just drove it out, and he and Jin Bao Qiufeng had it. However, the colors were different. Before he could wear it, Xiaobei wore it out to show off. This so-called new material is said to be the latest achievement of several machine shops and dyeing shops in Ningbo. If you can make this big business, it will help you not only ask for directions, but also make a small profit. The most important thing is that people in the business side of Ningbo Mansion can also make friends with you!

And the cost of going out for a trip this time is all back!

Zhang Taizheng almost choked with a sip of wine. When he found that Wang Fulin was not a joke, he couldn't help but quickly settle it in his heart. If this was Wang Fulin's exchange condition, it would undoubtedly be very acceptable. He didn't need him to pay or recommend any officials. All he needed was a word of making a connection. Moreover, Wang Fulin himself sold things to the Folang Jiren, and then it would be a trivial matter for him to take people to Putuo Mountain. So, after he quickly weighed the pros and cons, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, this matter is easy, I'll turn around and have someone talk about it!"

"Brother Zhang is indeed a cheerful person." Wang Fulin immediately showed a happy expression, and then responded to Zhang Taizheng with a glass of wine. Then he said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhang, I don't hide it from you now. In the small restaurant on the banks of Xiling Bridge, I was a good person for a while but forced you to pull you into the water. After all, I actually didn't like Mr. Xu Er, so I had to cheat you. Don't be surprised. Mr. Xu Er is really as wise as a needle. I offended him once in She County, so he showed me his face..."

Zhang Taizheng never expected that Wang Fulin would take the initiative to explain to himself the first thing in Hangzhou. Hearing that Wang Fulin described Mr. Xu as a typical rich second-generation model who was narrow-minded, crossing low and hurting people, he compared some impressions that Mr. Xu had to admit that what Mr. Wang Fulin said was probably the facts, and he couldn't help but believe it. When Wang Fulin apologized for the offense of Jinbao and Qiu Feng of Wansong Academy, he felt a lot of discomfort in his heart, and he also developed another enlightenment.

Wang Fulin seemed to want to start this business with those Folang Ji people, so he "confessed" him so much, right? Since that's the case, it's unlikely to tell the matter out. Moreover, from these signs, Wang Fulin's behavior is indeed very similar to those of Hui merchants. When he is businessman, he will not offend me. Now it seems that he had not suffered any loss after hearing the tentative contact of Wang Fulin in Hangzhou before.

The conflict between Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants has been around for a long time, mainly because of the reform of the salt law, and the control of Shanxi merchants with the grain of grain was replaced by the current one, so that Shanxi merchants almost never intervened in Huai salt again. But now this matter has been a long time ago, Shanxi merchants have no choice but to accept such changes. In addition, almost all foreign trade is in their hands, but they are not inferior to Hui merchants. Wang Daokun did not have a Hanlin at the beginning, and even though he was reused because of Zhang Juzheng's relationship, he was a Shangshu, and his father, Zhang Siwei, who directly pointed to the cabinet, had limited conflicts. Since this is the case, it is better to have more friends than more enemies!

After figuring this out, he immediately reciprocated Wang Fulin's frankness and immediately said, "It's like this, without delay. How about I take Brother Wang to the boat?"

Wang Fulin was talking about accusing people, but it was ultimately for this sentence. He stood up without saying a word and bowed: "Please wait for me for a while, and I will bring the sample of the material directly!"
